I'm often reminded of his comment about New Age music, a style/genre that he often gets linked with - "the trouble with New Age music is that there is no evil in it" is what I believe he said. While evil may not be the right work, he is correct in that most NewAge music is very one dimensional, while his work isn't.
Perhaps I should really be playing his very latest album that's just out "Jane 1-11" a set of improvisations, and I believe the 11th or 12th album he has released since he said he was retiring back in 2004 when he released his "final" album, the excellent "Avalon Sutra" (love that title!).
Once I was in the same restaurant as Budd, in Kendal of all places. But it was just before he performed at the arts centre next door, so I wasn't really surprised to see him there.
